Airbnb has been forced to remove almost 5,000 properties in San Francisco from its listing site after they failed to meet the deadline to register under a new law, which came into effect last year.
San Francisco city attorney Dennis Herrera said the law was a "game-changer". "This agreement helps protect the city's precious housing supply by obligating these companies to ensure that all their listings are legal and properly registered," Herrera said.
